In Which aonu of the papers hav&v for poliucal rc-tt- iionff. taken an active aver-actlv part, the State Land Roard yesterday gave out the following statement. Iq responae to the request oYithe repre itenta lives -of the press for aNatatement regardlnsNthe case. The boardaayi: The whole, thins Is only one 6X sev eral little, tempest in a local liyeri- tal teapot whictiVlfoila srsmoditly lor political effeet inly. The buslnesJ of the State Land Board Is all 4on publicly and always with-' the. Intention of oramotinK the public welfare. We are glad tWa nutation has cm up be- t U has, disclosed' a - mistake of whiclf' we were not aware, j We haw never -hi' thepRt atSd do hot now pre tend to be Infallible.. i "Mr. Johnson's first application waa rejected, the same as we often reject applications -when, .the information teems indequate. but which upon a fur tber showlnfir is allowed. Tbta loan In this respectt does not differ from many others, because we often, where there seems any doubt as td the value of the security offered, reject' It altogether, or until some further showing can be made. In this case, after : something like two years, the application was re newed. accomiwnled with a f list of some seven! actual sales in that vieln4 lty. furnished by an abstracter, cert i fvin that ohe tract, for Instance, of twenty a "res had sold in 1890 for $3,700. another of 4 acres sold for fl 2.782 and another of four acres' sold for $210 in 183 These tracts in actual saU brought from $275 an acre to $525. One tract of forty-six acres, being thre acres more than we supposed this e- euritv contained, sold for over i-'- a.n acre. AlfhouKh these figures may be somewhat aboi'e what the same land would -haveN sold for since; yet, as J well known; kalm has never had . a -boom'' but makinir this ajlownnce. the valuation we inade on this suppowd forty-three icres was only $173 an acre to covt-r the rules of the board. whereas, the instances furnished from tbe records I reach as high as . $i25 an ere. . j - ' - .,,A .. - . The '-application asfumlshed us de clare there, are 43.28 acres under cul UvatiOH. ..We accepted this statement ns true het-ause it was sworn to. The tract had 5riKinally contained., th.it much land afKj was so described in for mer mortgneis. but eleven icre had bfH-n 'sold off. and this fact in some way escaped the attention of the coun ty attorney jand absrsactor. .The state Is In no danger of "losing a dollar on the loan because the twtrty-two acre are worth much more thatr the lo'Kn, but the security Is not Withrn the 1 which requires three times the valne of the loan. The intention of theboar.l was right and the error Is siniprjc n mlsUike that better men than we oftt make. We have loaned over. $l,2o.00 since we have been handling the school fund, and while thlf mistake will result' In no loss t the'choI fund, it ir to be regretted, the avidity , with which Itiis seise4 upon merely, test I new to the excellem-e of a management which ha not b-en excelled by any banking firm anywhere doing a similar volume at business. We have . been frequently. abused by men for refusing them loans. arging that It was through a desire to Neep money in. tne treasury, nui hereis n case where censure comes for makingone. It Is always a question of JudgmenVand the pjubllc officer is to be congralftted who os hot catch It going andScomlng. "The board a never Instructed "an agent to maketiy particular kind 7of report' upon an application. Ills judg- t Is always leftvperfectly free so fr as the howd Is concerned. In this easesjthe attorney's recommendation Wsas biised. no doubt, on the list of act ual sale that had been maH. as was the board's conclusion to aIlow(he loan te be made. I The only mlstakewas In the matter of the amount of the o lty, but not a dollar f loss. will revlt from it. although It is to be regret te.
